Scientists have developed a simulation method incorporating quantum mechanics to model the electronic structure of nearly 13,000 atoms. This has enabled them to predict and characterize ...

The spike protein of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2 ... “We simulated the electronic structure of the two interacting molecules and assessed how amino acids of the spike and ACE2 interacted with their ...

Renowned computational biologist Janet Thornton discusses the potential of protein structure understanding in developing new ...

The engineered protein, resembling a structure ... spike protein, laying the groundwork for future investigations. The potential applications of this protein-based therapeutic extend beyond COVID-19.

Protein-based vaccines use the specific parts of the virus that the immune system needs to recognise in order to develop an immune response. They do not contain the whole virus or another virus. The ...

The team hope that the findings will support future work into developing variant-resistant treatments to COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2’s spike ... “Understanding the molecular structure of the viral spike ...

It started as a respiratory illness—or so everyone thought. But it quickly became apparent that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was so much more.

The video shows two segments: one featuring commentary about a substance binding to the coronavirus surface, followed by a narration discussing vaccine spike protein structure and antibody responses.

For decades, lab-made antibodies have been used to support patients fighting specific diseases. These treatments have become ...

This prospective case-control study included 85 patients with lung involvement related to the COVID-19 virus and a group of ...

The Kyushu University researchers studied the genetic information of the novel coronavirus, which was published in January, and set their sights on a “spike protein” shaped like a protuberance.
